Baked Polenta with Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Cheese

Baked Polenta with Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Cheese by Eve Fox

I ended up with a good amount of leftover polenta from this divine dinner. After it sat in the fridge for a few days, inspiration struck and I set about breathing new life into the cold mass of gruel using a few ingredients I had in the freezer and fridge.I got out a baking dish, greased it, turned the polenta out into it and patted…

Eatwell Recipe 29: Cool as a Cucumber -- Refrigerator Pickles by Eve Fox

The summer after my freshman year of college, I planted my first garden at my parents' place in upstate NY. I also started a compost heap in a crude structure I'd created using some old wooden pallets my dad had lying around. I was so excited about the…

Pickled Green Tomatoes

Pickled Green Tomatoes by Eve Fox

I used to really like chipmunks. Then I started gardening... As I became a repeat victim of their destructive, seemingly pointless digging and their casual, heart-breaking habit of taking bites out of ripe or partially ripe vegetables, my appreciation of their truly adorable appearance morphed into something approaching hatred.These…

Red Kuri Squash with Indian Spices

Red Kuri Squash with Indian Spices by Eve Fox

We received a big, beautiful red kuri squash in our CSA share last week. Kuris have sweet meat and a mild, slightly nutty flavor.

I created this delicious little salad/slaw about a month ago and have since made it a number of times.Not only is it super quick and easy, it's also delicious - tangy, sweet, and crunchy. It's remarkable how the lime juice and the cilantro work together to make cabbage, the queen of winter vegetables, taste like summer. The…

Apple Chicken From The New Basics Cookbook

Apple Chicken From The New Basics Cookbook by Eve Fox

The Silver Palate was the first cookbook I ever bought for myself. I was living in Boston, stumbling through my first year out of college and feeling rather lost, in general, when I came across it in the Brookline Booksmith. My friend, Ali, who I'd lived with the previous three years at Wesleyan and who is both a great cook and the…

Stir-Fried Garlic Spinach - the Pinnacle of Yum by Eve Fox

This spinach has earned a permanent place in my kitchen repertoire. It's so tasty, so fast and so easy that I just can't quit it. Not that I'd ever want to quit it...It comes by way of Grace Young's lovely cookbook, The Breath of a Wok, which my husband gave me as a gift after we returned from a trip to Southeast Asia what feels like…

Red Cabbage, Carrot, Cilantro Slaw (With An Asian Slant)

Red Cabbage, Carrot, Cilantro Slaw (With An Asian Slant) by Eve Fox

I had half a head of red cabbage and a ton of fresh cilantro left over after making shrimp tacos last week so I decided to make something with them. My first thought was this divine little slaw I made up last winter but when I went in to grab the veggies, I noticed not one, but two bags of organic carrots cooling their heels in the…
